A Better Way to Deploy

Automation solutions to reduce IP Telephony Deployment Pain and increase Profit Margins

Summary:

For managed service providers and system integrators, migrating customers to IP telephony represents a large business opportunity. Yet the potential risks are also many.

An IP-T migration or deployment is very complex and requires the migration of large volumes of information that are quite sensitive to mistakes and unpredicted obstacles. Changing telephony systems is one of the most complex tasks an organization can undertake.

However, the technology is not always the complicating factor. In a migration, many people are affected who have their own opinions about the migration. Additionally, each individual phone set migration requires many detailed and often times complex steps be completed. These non-technical issues significantly complicate a telephony migration and impact its success or failure.

For example, if one adds to each phone migration an extra step that requires an additional 5 minutes to complete, a project with 10,000 phones will be delayed by more than 20 additional man-weeks. A tool that streamlines and eliminates manual procedures would be beneficial and reduce project times radically.
